I wonder what year 27 will bring...
Two things that I can be certain of are: a new baby and finally starting the nursing program. Other than that I have know idea.
I remember laying in bed with steven the night of my 26th birthday and saying to him "I would love to be pregnant sometime when I'm 26." Who knew that I would be just about the whole year. The 26th year of my life will be a year to remember. Steven and I found out that we were pregnant, I found out that I got into nursing school, and we bought our first house. Needless to say, I apparently like to cram everything in all at once and make life interesting.
This next year will consist of adjusting to being a mom(oh that's weird to say)and studying all the time for the nursing program...ugh. Hopefully other fun surprises will continue to pop up all around us. :) All I know is that I want to be in the Lord's will and follow his directions. Then nothing else will matter.
Goodbye 26 :(

My love!!!
Today Steven and I are celebrating our 2 year anniversary! It's crazy to think that we have been married for 2 years already. Where has the time gone? Steven is a perfect match for me. We compliment each other so well. He makes me laugh. He says I love you thru the window. He says sweet dreams every night. I love our traditions that no one else would understand. He always tells me i'm pretty even when I think I look like crap. He comforts me and even knows when to leave alone. I love his "woahhssah" sounds ;).
Who knew that two years ago that we would be having a kid in a few short weeks. He reassures me that everything will be ok. I'm scared to death but he seems very calm about the whole thing. Even though i know, he keeps telling me to have faith in God and he will take care of our needs. As I was driving to work this morning, I was talking to Luke and told him that he would be planning a 50th for us in a 48 years and I hope he could handle that :).
I love you Steven with all my heart!!!!

7 more to go!!!
Week and Day: 33 weeks
Belly button in or out: in and I dont know if it will ever pop out
Wedding rings on or off: on still no change
Food cravings: Ice cream please. I eat a bowl every night before I go to bed.
Food aversion: Still no aversions
Nausea: No nausea
Energy level: I have had a cold for the past week so I have not been able to sleep very well due to coughing all night long...ugh. I'm keeping Steven awake as well so we are both pretty tired.
Weight gain: At my last drs appt (July 15th), I was up to 19lbs. WOW! I know it's for a good (or shall I say GREAT) cause but i'm probably going to gain about 25lbs and that just freaks me out.
Mood: I'm starting to get a lot of anxiety. I asked Steven last night if he was ready for this, you know like he has a choice, and he said yes. So I guess that's reassuring but I'm still freaking out about the whole thing. Sometimes I dont feel like i'm old enough to be doing this.
Maternity clothes: I finally had to give up the pair of pants that I was holding onto. But the shirts are still normal shirts.
Size of the baby: Luke is the size of a papaya. He is now on average about 4lbs (crazy).
Changes in baby: Luke is getting the hiccups more and more these days. If this is a sign of him growing then he will be 10ft tall when he comes out b/c he has them ALL the time. :)
Things I miss: sleep SLEEP and S.L.E.E.P.
Things I look forward to: getting his room complete
Other: I'm now 8 months!! It feels like yesterday we were telling people we are pregnant.

28 weeks and 1 day
Week and Day: 28 weeks and 1 day
Belly button in or out: still in and it's line instead of a circle now
Wedding rings on or off: on still no change
Food cravings: I've been eating alot of ice cream lately
Food aversion: I havent really been aversed to anything either
Nausea: No more nausea however i have had heartburn
Energy level: tiredness is a constant state of life now
Weight gain: At my last drs appt, I had only gained a pound since the last appt. So now i'm up to 13 pounds
Mood: I havent had any mood swings lately, I think it's because i'm so exhausted all the time.
Maternity clothes: I'm holding on to one pair of regular pants, all the rest are maternity pants. I go back and forth on the shirts bc i can still fit into regular shirts. Dresses are also comfortable. Funny statement that I said to my mom "I cant wait until I can wear normal clothes again." I looked down and everything I was wearing was part of my "normal" clothes. oops :)
Size of the baby:Luke is now the size of a eggplant and weighs about 2lbs and 3oz. That's crazy how someone so little is in my stomach but seems so big to think about it.
Changes in baby: Luke is kicking and punching and jabbing and playing all day in my tummy. If this is any indication of what he is going to be like outside the womb, then me and steven are doomed.
Other: I am in my last week of 6 months. I have several showers scheduled in the coming weeks which is so exciting. It's so nerve racking registering for everything b/c you dont know what luke will like or dislike. I wish he came with a manual that said "your child WILL breastfeed, stay in newborn outfits for "this" long and for the first 6 months of life will sleep at these hours". And even though i'm not the first mother in the world, this is the first time I will be a mother and it's very scary.

24 weeks!
Week and Day: 24 weeks
Belly button in or out: still in but it's starting to come to the surface
Wedding rings on or off: on still no change
Food cravings: I havent really craved anything lately
Food aversion: I havent really been aversed to anything either
Nausea: No more nausea however i have had heartburn
Energy level: I am still tired all the time
Weight gain: I'm afraid to get on the scale. Last time I weighed it was about 10 lbs total.
Mood: Kind of moody lately. I can still cry at anything. The little things are getting on my nerves but I dont know if that has to do with me being pregnant or not.
Maternity clothes: I'm holding on to one pair of regular pants, all the rest are maternity pants. I go back and forth on the shirts bc i can still fit into regular shirts. Dresses are also comfortable.
Size of the baby:Luke is now the size of a papaya and weighs as much as a basketball.
Changes in baby: Luke's skin is becoming more opaque as the fat starts to pack on. And, thanks to the formation of small capillaries, his newly thick skin is taking on a fresh pink glow.
Other: It's so neat to be able to feel this baby move inside of me. Steven and I will lay on the bed and just watch him move all around. Everytime Luke moves, Stevens eyes just light up.

Halfway there!!!!
Today i'm 20 weeks. It's still very crazy to think that there is another human inside me. He or she is moving all the time. It's so weird to feel that sensation. Even though I havent gained a lot of weight, I feel sooooo big and the funny thing is is that i'm going to get much bigger. ugh. I just cant imagine. Every week I get an update on the progress of the baby and this week it says :
Baby's now the size of a cantaloupe!Baby gulps down several ounces of amniotic fluid every day, both for nutrition and to practice swallowing and digesting. And, these days, those taste buds actually work! Studies show that after birth, babies respond best to tastes they've already had via amniotic fluid. Meaning, think about what you'd like your future child to eat as you prepare your own lunch.
My kid will LOVE macaroni and cheese:). Also we go tomorrow for the midway ultrasound where they catch everything from head to toe and also find out the sex of the baby. I cant wait to start calling it by name instead of little one. Well i'm sure i'll post again this weekend to say what the the baby is . :)

Other: It's so neat to be able to feel this baby move inside of me. I try to see if steven and feel it too sometimes. Also we find out what we are having on April 22nd. :)

12 weeks
Week and Day: 12 weeks and 1 day
Belly button in or out: in, I'm not far enough along yet
Wedding rings on or off: on, they are a little loose actually
Food cravings: Right now milk and peanut butter, who knows what it will be tomorrow
Food aversion: Everything else basically
Nausea: every once in a while now, I hope I'm getting over the "feeling sick all the time" or it depends on what food is in front of me
Energy level: I can't really tell a difference because I was always tired before
Weight gain: I have actually lost 4 pounds
Mood: I cry at the drop of a hat, i'm anxious about bringing a child into the world (i'm glad God gives you 9 months to prepare for this)
Maternity clothes: My blue jeans are getting very tight so i might need to start thinking about that
Size of the baby: About the size of a plum, I'm a little longer than a credit card and I weigh as much as a magic marker :)
Changes in baby: As I move into the second trimester, baby shifts into the growth and maturation stage. After weeks in the critical development stage, almost all of my systems are fully formed.
Other: It's so precious how every night, Steven will talk to it and he won't let me hear what he is saying. He says he's having a conversation with his child. Too cute :)
